Empire Bodyboards and Ally Fins are pleased to announce the latest edition to the team with the signing of Port Macquarie (NSW) rising star Chase O’Leary.
Bodyboard Shaper and Australian distributor of Empire and Ally, Glenn Taylor (from Turbo Surf) had the following to say of the recent signing:
“Chase has been on the bodyboard scene for a long time considering his age and is the leading the next generation of amazing bodyboarding talent to come out of Port Macquarie. Chase is the captain of the successful Port Macquarie Bodyboard Club (PMBA) and is on his way to Hawaii this week to compete in the Turbo Bodyboards Pipeline Pro event. It is great to see such a passionate and talented bodyboarder taking it to the next level”
Chase joins an impressive team at Empire Bodyboards, including Josh Garner, Nick Ormerod, Jonah Romero and Leif Emberg. Chase had the following to say about joining the Empire team and his upcoming trip to Hawaii:
“It’s great to be riding for global companies (Empire Bodyboards and Ally Fins) that have a base in your home Town”.
“Hawaii should be a lot of fun, first time in the comp, should be a good experience”.
Regular visitors to Transitsurf would have no doubt noticed significant downtime over the last couple of days. We have been working together with our host to resolve all problems as fast as we can however you may experience some errors in the site during the next few days as things get back to normal.
In the mean time we have been working towards putting together a series of Transitsurf.com web video’s for 2010. Whilst the waves have been lacking somewhat we have turned our attention to the concrete jungle in search of relief to try out a new toy from our friends at GoPro camera’s. Check the video below for a short test run with good friend of Transitsurf, Aaron Nannup, at a local skate park wearing the Transitsurf headcam.
We thank you all for your time, patience and support.
Paul Castle has an extremely limited run of only 10 Ryan Hardy wall canvases for sale via his blog. Here’s what Paul has to say about the canvases:-
“I feel its one of the best shots i’ve taken in the years i’ve been shooting, but sadly I feel it was never shown to its true potential as it was shot on 35mm slide film during the digital revolution. If you would like one contact me at paulcastlephoto@hotmail.com. Price is $200 (excluding post) for a 60×40cm (If you want it smaller or bigger let me know).”
